I have asked this question in another thread, but thought it might deserve its own. I know completely cleared stock pipes take away some performance but I don't think I have an option at this point and I can always slip in a baffel if needed. Does anybody have any experience doing this?

You can still do it like I stated in the other thread and more extensively in PM to you. You can save the reducer still if you are careful. The reducer will give you enough backpressure.

Thanks Dog for the help. To anyone else considering removing their baffles and has limited experience, STAY AWAY FROM THE INNER WALL WHEN DRILLING! And if you do catch that wire mesh when drilling behind the first baffel, DO NOT TRY AND REMOVE IT. It runs the entire length of the pipe done to and includig the reducer making it extremely difficult to remove without damaging the rest of the pipe's structure. Just use a hole saw and drill large holes through the baffles you want to remove and don't worry about knocking them out. My pipes had 4 baffles and this screen. To all who took the time to help me out in my hour of need, thank you and I am sure that I will need it again.
